> From: Jason Xing <[email protected]>

> There is no break time in the while() loop, so every time at the end
> of igb_xmit_zc(), underflow of nb_pkts will occur, which renders the
> return value always false. But theoretically, the result should be set
> after calling xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). We can take
> i40e_xmit_zc() as a good example.

> Returning false means we're not done with transmission and we need one
> more poll, which is exactly what igb_xmit_zc() always did before this
> patch. After this patch, the return value depends on the nb_pkts
> value.
> Two cases might happen then:
> 1. if (nb_pkts < budget), it means we process all the possible data,
> so
> return true and no more necessary poll will be triggered because of
> this.
> 2. if (nb_pkts == budget), it means we might have more data, so return
> false to let another poll run again.
